Over trying even, either way he should get a crack IMO....might fall into place if he comes in and is surrounded by good leaders.
I'm sure he's frustrated.
Won't fall into place, because he thinks he's the be all and end all, and he's far from it.
Why should it matter if he's arrogant if he does the training and performs on the day? He's obviously fit enough since he's regularly racking up big numbers as an onballer for Sandy. The majority (say 60%) of AFL players are morons who are totally full of themselves. These traits generally transfer well for elite sports performance.

You and I are grumpy old men.
Why can't Ledge be a grumpy young man? He will work through whatever is troubling him.
That is one item that the leadership group should be addressing. It must be up to them.
Guidance, advice, counselling.
You don't know his situation but I would be sure the important folk at the club know, and would make it their business to know.
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Speak for yourself, I may be old, but I'm far from grumpy.
I've been watching this bloke for three years now and nothing's changed. In 2011 I thought he'd be a star when he grew up. He hasn't grown up. He'll be delisted at the end of this season.

Don't drop ferguson, Siposs and saad...back them in and take away their mentors as a show of trust.
Saad instead of Milne, ferguson instead if fisher, Siposs instead of Maister.
Milne out... really!!
For mine he was in our best players, I liked that he was more engaged up the ground
And he always looked like something positive might happen when he got the ball
Not sure what game you were watching?

Lee yes;
Curren is a rookie and cannot be elevated;
Ledger has a major attitude problem that will probably stop him ever being an AFL player.
CVan you please elaborate on Ledger's "major attitude problem". May explain why he has seemingly fallen out of favour as has shown signs in past and consistently in best for Sandy yet others keep overtaking him. Thanks

Put Gilbert on LTIL or make up an injury for Blake/Jones to get Curren elevated.

There's no way it will happen but that's what I'd do. Dempster is now our best negating defender. Simpkin played well on bigger opponent last year. Dunell, Curren and Ledger are all playing well at Sandy and we might as well see if they're up to it.
If Watters recalls Maister, Jones or TDL he will have lost my support.
Dempster 191cm 89kgs. Nic Nat 203cm 109kgs, Cox 202cm 107kgs, Kennedy 196cm 100kgs. Who would you suggest Dempster plays on????? I love the bloke, but if he gets any of these as opponents I fear for him
Sounds like Wrights scans were all clear, and if he passes a fitness test he'll play this week according to Scott, who praised his hardness....that's good news

Good news. Wright was a bit rusty last week. Hopefully he'll be back to his usual standard this week.
i am Melbourne Skies - sometimes Blue Skies, Grey Skies, even Partly Cloudy Skies.

You should think about going to Sandy and having a look. He still has the outstanding talent he came with in that he can pick the ball up in traffic and he knows where to run and he still has the same deficiencies in that his disposal is just okay and often he resorts to trying to roost it forward without looking. He's started handballing a bit more. It may just be me but he seems to have got a bit fitter. Before this year he would blow up after only a quarter or two. He's still short of AFL standard though in respect of fitness. Quite apart from all that he treats every decision paid against him as either a mystery or a crime and doesn't mind continuing the dialogue to the point of losing interest in running or competing immediately.
Well, our midfield is woeful at the moment, so let's keep trying different players through there and we might crack a good combination that actually works.
